Islamic officials today abruptly released a Muslim model scheduled to be caned this week for drinking beer after briefly detaining her, in an unexpected twist for the first woman to face the corporal punishment in Malaysia.
It’s right that she should not be caned for drinking beer, however she should be caned for claiming to be a model. That’s her on the left.
I'm always astounded at the backwardness of certain people. Many years ago I was at a Casino, and a clearly rich Arab man stood next to me putting thousands on the table. He had an expensive Rolex watch, and was sending text messages throughout the night on the latest phone of the time - yet while his accessories were the 21st century gizmo's, his clothing was 5th century desert attire.
ReplyDeleteBack home he'd probably sentence anyone else gambling to death - yet abroad he indulges in gambling himself.
I remember thinking, if sheer geological luck hadn't given these guys oil, I wouldn't have been standing next to him at a roulette table, - I'd probably be sending him food aid.

ReplyDeleteif there's backward here, it's our way of thinking...
ReplyDeleteyou can't tell a man's wealth just by judging on his clothes especially if it has been influenced by a culture totally different from ours.
as for the model, i don't find her beautiful too, but maybe she's beautiful around her race - it's hard to conclude. it's a basic lesson of diversity really.
